Need super high quality flyboy in lift (elevator) image

[Neil]

Has anyone got a really good quality hires digital image of flyboy in the Penny's lift in Dawn of the Dead? eg: Better than this?

[Neil]

Anyone?

[rongravy]

Not I, said the fly. But that picture would make a pretty sweeet Caption This...

[Neil]

Well, my caption would be, "Hey look at an actual piece of the wood cladding from this JC Penny's lift inside this frame with me!"

I was thinking more: Man, I hate eating my chick out on the rag... Disgusting, I know, but he just has that look on his face like, "Ma-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-n, FML."

I'll admit, I was thrown by the "lift" reference. You mean the elevator! Took me a minute.

I'll admit, I was thrown by the "lift" reference. You mean the elevator! Took me a minute. Elevator sounds all self-important and technical, like a holdover from a time when slippery travelling salesmen were making a big song-and-dance about selling "Edison's Patented Electrified, Cable-Operated No-Stair Elevator System" or some such nonsense. We don't say automobile when we can say car, we don't say bicycle when we can say bike, we don't say prophylactic sheath when we can say condom. :P

"Elevator" is more of an American thing, I believe. Most everywhere else they're referred to as "lifts".

"Elevator" is more of an American thing, I believe. Most everywhere else they're referred to as "lifts". The only places I ever heard an elevator refered to as a lift is when I spent a week in London and on Star Trek (turbo-lifts). Of course, on Star Trek, they use the metric system too. Blah!

The only places to get real high resolution images of that are either by a screen-cap of a Blu-Ray or an actual scan of the original film print. A scan of the print will be much higher quality than a Blu-Ray grab. But it's unlikely that there's one floating around out there. Where's that image from anyway? Is it an HD screen grab? Or an enlarged standard DVD grab? I'm not sure what kind of camera they used to film that? If it's 16 or even super16 the resolution will be limited anyway. Further limited by the scanner and scanner operator that scans the print. The only other suggestion I can offer is that there's a plugin for Photoshop called "Blow-Up", it increases the dimensions of an image using an algorithm that creates very little quality loss. It's made by a company called Alien Skin. I think there's a demo but not sure what its limitations are outside of a time limit. I can tell you how to sharpen and make an enlarged image or a limited resolution screen grab look better if you want to try that.

So do any of you kind folks have a bluray player on your PC and a good Dawn of the Dead bluray? Able to capture some stills along the lines of the example in the OP?

If I can find a way to transfer my BR copy from player to my PC by way of HDMI, I might be able to get you one. Although I don't know if HDMI's can run both ways like that. Anyone with more experience know?

Simply need someone with a bluray player on their PC I believe. From there, I believe screencaps should be easy!
